Awesome coin Randy! I love the coins with Standards on the reverse. The detail on the Standards looks great too!! Especially the one on the left! Very nice portrait too. I really like it, I hope to get a FIDES MILITUM of Philip I one of these days myself I also have wanted a FIDES MILITUM, with a very similar reverse, Antoninianus of Elagabalus for a while, to go with all my other Elagabalus Antoninianii.
Nice pickup, much better weight then mine. Looks like the edges are the same as mine though, very thin
